    Here is a simple, foundational Jain sutra that many followers share with devotion:

    Original (Namokar Mantra): Navam Namokar Mahavrata — Namo Arihantanam—Namo Siddhantanam—Namo Ayariyanam Namo Ulhasay Namah

    Meaning (arth) in brief:

    • Namo Arihantanam: I bow to the Arihantas (enlightened beings who have conquered all inner passions).
    • Namo Siddhantanam: I bow to the Siddhas (liberated beings).
    • Namo Ayariyanam: I bow to the Acharyas (spiritual teachers) who guide the Jain community.
    • Namo Ulhasay Namah: I bow to the false gods and all living beings who are not yet realized (humility before the vast, unseen order of the cosmos).

    Notes:

    • There are subtle differences in wording and emphasis between Digambara and Śvetāmbara traditions, but the core meaning remains reverent homage to the liberated, the teachers, and the path.
    • This mantra is often recited as a daily practice to cultivate humility, detachment, and reverence for the path of non-violence and self-purification.
